"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\n\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strikeforce welterweight Joe Riggs is still hospitalized following a reaction to an undisclosed prescription medicine and is expected to be released next week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Riggs' manager, Trevor Lally of Arizona Combat Sports, informed MMAWeekly.com of the news on Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"Supposedly, they got it out of his system and they're switching medications for him, and he feels 100-percent better,\" said Lally.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lally said Riggs wants to get back to action as soon as possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"He just had me call Bob (Cook) to see if there's a fight for him in the near future,\" he said. \"They're going to clear him to start working out in about a week.\"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Riggs, a 26-year-old resident of Phoenix, Ariz., was rushed to the hospital in late July after suffering the reaction and was forced to pull out of a welterweight title bout against Nick Diaz at Strikeforce \"Carano vs. Cyborg\" on Aug. 15. He last appeared June 6 at \"Shields vs. Lawler,\" where he defeated Phil Baroni by unanimous decision.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
